The planned savings in cultural budgets were the starting point of the ‘For Sale’ project in the RAM foundation in Rotteram in 2003. Pierre Mertens real estate agent put the RAM gallery and other cultural institutions for sale on the real estate market. On his Real Estate website you could see how he has already sold other art temples in the world. Bilbao became an Ikea branch etc … In the empty gallery you can hear the calls from potential buyers on the answering machine. They all received a letter explaining the art project.
